4 Vice President Chuck Heretta Hard to believe it is Fall when the temperatures are in the high 80 s. Well, the competition season is coming to an end with just a few days of events left. Last Sunday, the 24 th, was one of those hot days. Tiretown hosted Fun Center s sanctions at Lorain County Speedway along with Corvette Cleveland. A respectable turnout of forty-two entrants from multiple Clubs. Tiretown was well represented with driving entrants of Dennis Patrick, John overall FTD Taube, Melanie Hardman, Chuck Heretta, Elaine eat my dust Heretta, and first timer Bonnie Smith. Yes, you read that right. Tiretown workers included Linda S, Genene P, Tom G, Peg Q, Gary T, Frank S, Ken and Connie C. Thanks to each and every one for bearing the heat and keeping our hope of a fourth place Regional finish alive. That being said, please schedule some time in your busy life, to help Tiretown finish strong. There are just a few car shows left and some rallies. The shows are in Wooster and Vermilion. The rallies are in Medina with Medina Corvette Club hosting. There is even the return of the Halloween Rally. Look at the flyers in this issue of the newsletter and make your plans. Call me if you have questions and we can set up a meeting place to travel together. My final thought for this issue deals with trying new events. Last weekend we did a matching times event. Speed was not the determining factor but being consistent while on the course. Bonnie Smith tried it and continued with the speed events. Her times got quicker as she became more in tune with the car and course. Congrats to Bonnie! A new challenge for you may be doing a rally. This is a predetermined route in which you follow directions and answer questions along the way or at the end. First timers normally do well. The first set of rallies will be in the daylight to make it easier. Give them a try and help your Club. Keep coming to the meetings, as they now move indoors, at the Venue in Tallmadge. Thanks for participating this year Chuck Membership Twenty-three members of TTCC met for our monthly cook-out and meeting at Waterworks Park in Lakemore. We had two visitors - my (our) Bill Bray and Brigitte Zandreai, a significant friend of "Dutch" John Schwarze. We enjoyed Steaks from our August Steak out social and the usual hotdogs and kielbasa, lots of side dishes and desserts were provided by various members. Our October 2nd meeting will be at the Venue on Tallmadge Circle. Enter the building from the South Ave (Rte 91) side. We will be ordering from the Danny Boy s menu. We will alternate between Danny Boys menu and the Firehouse Grill menu at our meetings this Fall and Winter. It is renewal time. Time to fill out the Appliation for Tiretown and NCCC.
